Ducks hand Coyotes 1st home loss

GLENDALE, AZ - Dustin Penner scored two goals as the Anaheim Ducks handed the Phoenix Coyotes their first home loss in regulation this season, 4-2 Saturday night.

Sami Vatanen had a power-play goal and Corey Perry also tallied for the Ducks in the win over the Coyotes, who were 9-0-2 this season at Jobing.com Arena. Anaheim is the last team to remain undefeated at home in regulation.

After shutting out Tampa Bay on Friday night, Jonas Hiller earned his second straight victory and improved his season record to 9-3-2. In the two wins, Hiller stopped 73 of 75 shots.

Shane Doan scored on a tip-in with 4:20 remaining in the third. He also assisted on Mike Ribeiro's second-period goal and has at least a point in each of his last eight games.

The Ducks extended their record to 3-0 against Pacific Division rivals Phoenix. Two games remain between the teams this season.

The Coyotes dominated play at the start but had nothing to show for it -- they outshot Anaheim 8-0 in the first five minutes. The Ducks first shot came 8 minutes in, when Andrew Cogliano's shot bounced off goalie Mike Smith in the crease.

The Coyotes had 15 shots on Hiller in the first, two short of their season high for a period. But the Ducks scored first.

On the power play, Penner positioned himself in front of Jeff Halpern and easily converted a pass from Nick Bonino from the right side into his fifth goal of the season at 11:11 of the period.

Despite having the second-best home power-play percentage, the Coyotes were 0 for 3 with the man advantage in the opening period.

The Ducks had an opportunity to increase their lead five minutes into the second but Smith stopped Emerson Etem on a penalty shot.

Just over 2 minutes later, Ribeiro tied it 1-all when he poked in a rebound at 7:27 of the second.

The Ducks then countered with two goals in less than 3 minutes.

Penner scored his second of the night on a 2-on-1 break with a shot through Smith's pads at 8:03. Perry then beat Michael Stone in the slot and flipped a wrist shot behind Smith at 11:01.

Vatanen converted a pass from Mathieu Perreault at 12:43 for his second goal of the season and a 4-1 lead.
